The Century
With the current number of the Cen
tury Magazine begins its eighteenth
year and thirty-ffth volume. Great
value and, at this time, wide popular in
terest attaches to Mr.. Remnants paper
on the "The Last Appeal of the Russian
Liberals" the text of which, for the first
time in English, is included in his ar i
cle,-in fact, the appeal has hitherto
not really been published at all. The
frontispiece this month is a portrait of
Washington by Wright of Philadelphia,
made IN 1874, and now for the first time
engraved. OF this portrait it is stated
that Washington wrote to Mrs. Powell,
for whom it was painted that sit was
the best for which he had then sat"
Silhouettes of Washington, John Wash
ington, and Benjamin Franklin, made
by themselves and not before printed,
also appear in paper on The Home
and the Haunts of Washington, by
Mrs. Constance Cary Harrison. The
special art feature of the number is the
sculpture of Augustus Saint Gaudens,
of which several beautiful examples are
reproduced. The fiction of the present
number is especially notable, including
the beginning of two serial stories The
Graysons " a tale of Illinois life in the
first half Of the century, by Edward
Eggleston, and novelette, of Acadian
life by George W. Gable, entitled "Au
Large" the scene of which is the neigh
borhood of "Grande Pointe," the char
acters being substantially the same as
| in the novelette, of that name. Addi-
tionai results of Mr.. Kemble's visit to
Louisiana in the interest of the Century
are seen in the striking drawings which
! are given with paper by E. V. Smalley
on "Sugar-maki 6 IN Louisiana. Pro-
fessor John T. Stoddard of Smith Col
lege contributes a second paper on
college Composites, in which he
shows the results of his experiments in
the combination of photographs, the
examples being drawn from the classes
of 'S7 at Amherst, Bowdoin, and Will
Jams Colleges, Cornell, Harvard. and
Johns Hopkins Universities, and the
| Sheffield Scientific School. The conclu-
sion of the Battle Series is emphasized
IN this number by an admirable presen-
tation in text and pictures of the break
up of Lees armv and the surrender at
Appomattox. The article is by General
| Horace Porter, and is entitled Grant S
Last Campaign" With the November
number the Lincoln History reaches a
most interesting part of the great Presi
J dents career, the period between his
election and his Inauguration. and one
upon which, by their personal relations
with him, Messrs. Nicolay and Hay are
able to throw much new light. The
poetry of the number is contributed by

Mrs. Lincoln has not set out to furnish
complete cook book, or to present an
array of new recipes and elaborate
dishes, but to give lessons and explana-
tons in plain cooking, adapting them
to classes in schools. The work is,
therefore textbook on the nature of
food and its proper combinations. Her
instructions are practical and plainly
understood. She tries ''to impre IS upon
girls thai all work is honorable. aud
that it is really a part of education to
be able to blacken stove, to scour a
tin, or to prepare tempting meal OF
wholesome food" and to show, also,
that there is something more in cooking
than the mere putting of certain ma
terials together for the qualification OF
the appetite. The volume will prove
useful to old as we'll as young house
keepers.
